Hi Bert:

If you're going to put 5,500 images in a document, you MUST use "linked and
not embedded" images.

Look for the Help topic " Create a linked or embedded object from an
existing file" to see how.

I think you will need to split that document into chapters (NOT
master/subdocuments!!). Word will go up to 5,500 "pages" in a single file,
but I doubt whether it will go higher than about a thousand images without
becoming unworkably slow.

Cheers

Just a note to add to RMF's post - have you tried navigating via the
Document Map function?

Can you explain this further. I have a file over 3000 pages and 300
MB in size. Now I can cut it in chapters, that iswhat I do, but when
I am finished I need to put the whole document together for the index
and compile to pdf file. The problems start here.

Sorry, Bert - my comment only helps with making it easier to navigate
large
documents.

I'm a little surprised at the size of the file though - 100KB per page
seems
rather large. If that's caused by images, have you thought about leaving
placeholders for them until the final version?
